The five-star Jebel Ali Golf Resort & Spa entered into a joint venture with Spa Resources International in January. The joint venture will see the development and launch of The Spa — an exclusive, two-storey purpose-built wellness facility at the Jebel Ali Golf Resort & Spa. Facilities will include 10 treatment rooms, changing facilities, majlis relaxation lounge, hair salon, and a host of wet area facilities such as a jacuzzi, steam room, sauna, and a hammam scrub room. Scheduled to open in mid-February, The Spa will offer more than 35 different face and body therapies. “We are very pleased to provide and implement our spa expertise in the Jebel Ali Golf Resort & Spa,” says Daniella Russell, director of Spa Resources International. “We believe The Spa brings a fresh concept in a new environment, with unique and improved treatments. It sets higher standards in the spa and hospitality industry of the United Arab Emirates.” Gerhard Hardick, general manager of Jebel Ali International Hotels, says that the increasing popularity of personalised wellness venues makes this an important project for the resort. “The spa industry has positioned itself as a major player in the tourism sector, and with new market segments opening up we are looking forward to tapping into the global wellness tourism market. It is a great pleasure to embark on this journey with the support of Spa Resources International,” he says.
